Family pics December 2012
We has someone come to the house to take some pics for our Christmas card. That was much easier than packing up a 2 week old and trying to be somewhere at a certain time. Overall the turned out great. Here are just a few that are my favorite. I sure do love taking family pics... now I just need to print some and put them up in the house!
Kennedy Week 5
Well we had a few nights of 7 hour stretches at night but then other nights are 4. So basically we can go anywhere from 4-7 hours with no reason as to why it's longer or shorter. We are working on trying to figure this one out but hey, she is only 5 weeks old so we really can't complain. I think the hard thing is that we compare everything to what Avery did knowing full well that every kid is unique and different and you really can't compare one to another. Overall she is still a really good baby. She has her fussy time in the evenings and I think mainly it's because we can't figure out what time her bed time should be. It really varies between 830-10 so hopefully we will hammer it out soon and get this little one on a schedule since we all know I am queen of schedules!
We had a busy week with Christmas and all the festivities but Kennedy was a champ through it out. She has not been pooping much this week so she had one major blow out on Christmas Eve which I bore the effects of and then we had to give her an enema one other night and boy do those work great! Thirty minutes and holy poop!
Kennedy is turning into a great little shopper when I need to get out of the house as long as it's during her nap time which is about 2 hours after she wakes up in the morning which is still around 9 or 10. That last feeding I am still bringing her in bed and letting her sleep on my but I know soon enough her schedule will change and those extra snuggles will be no more... sad but I know I will sleep better and then everyone will be happier!
She went to Sea World twice this week and the second time she was actually awake long enough to get to see Santa:) I know before long I am going to miss her newborn days and cries so I just need to enjoy how little she is and really take in every moment. She is really beginning to smile and have some personality of her own which is really cute. She has that same little dimple like Avery and when she laughs and smiles in her sleep, it just about melts my heart. She is trying to reach for things but still has a ways to go before she can grab on to things but her finger hugs sure are sweet. Happy New Year!

Christmas 2012
We sure are blessed! We had such a great Christmas and we know that there are many people that are less fortunate than us.
Christmas Eve we went to my parents house for dinner with my family and Aunt and Uncles family. It is nice to get everyone together and we really don't do it often enough. Kennedy was a little fussy but that is her fussy time so it's to be expected. Nothing that we can't deal with. She did decide to have a major blow out on me that night which was quite fun. Thank God we had a few hands to help and clean up and give her a sink sponge bath! Avery wanted to help open every single persons present so she was the number one helper. It was also cute to see her play/boss cousin Layton around. You can sure tell she has been the only child for quite some time.
When we got home, we set out cookies and milk for Santa to come and everyone was off to bed.
Surprisingly Avery decided to sleep in that day as did Kennedy so Ben and I were able to both get up and get semi ready before it was time to see what Santa brought. Around 730, we all headed downstairs and Avery found a doll house that Santa brought for her. This was a special doll house that I can't reveal too much where Santa got in case Avery reads this one day.... and Santa still holds a special place in her heart. Needless to say it was a hit and she loved it. Kennedy sat very patient and quiet in her chair and I am sure next year, we will have to baby proof everything since she will be just at the fun and into everything age.
A bit later my parents, sister and her "friend", Grant and Christi, and Uncle Pam and Lee came over. We all sat around opening presents while Kennedy slept on me. She pretty much slept through the entire gift opening. She did manage to get a few presents and Avery got more than her share and plenty more than she actually needs. I am not sure if Kennedy will ever need a thing after all the stuff that Avery has and will end up being passed down...
We had a great brunch from Cuatros Milpas, a family tradition and lots of mimosas... We finned the day up around 2 and everyone had a great afternoon nap! It was a great Christmas and having Kennedy added to our family right before the holidays made it that much more special. We are all blessed to have such great friends and family and I am thankful that all that God as blessed us with. I can't wait to continue to make traditions with our girls for Christmas and for them to understand the true meaning of Christmas.
God Bless!
